DigiDL-B / BT – Checking compatibility
DigiDL-B / BT Installation Guide

Checking compatibility of vehicles:
Remote Download was introduced in 2010. Many vehicles from 2010 will have
compatible Digital Tachographs however it can be a mixed picture depending
on the vehicle and Tachograph manufacturer and how much stock of old
Tachographs were around in 2009 / 2010.
Stoneridge Compatibility:
All revision 7.0 Tachographs onwards.
VDO Compatibility:
V1.3 onwards with significant exceptions and caveats.
In the case of VDO a Secondary CAN-Bus, required for Remote Download, was
not included on every one of their models. The deletion of the Secondary CAN
mostly affects 12 volt models however there are many Volvo and some Renault
that are affected. Tachosys supply a product called digiDL-E that allows the
use of the Tachograph Front Port for Remote download. You will also need the
K-Line cable (DDL-Kline) with this solution.
If you need to use the front port for remote download on a VDO Tachograph
you will need a VDO Front Interface Update Card. See Pages 12-15 for further
information.
Tachosys Compatibility Checking tools
Tachosys are the most experienced manufacturer in this market and we have
developed several methods to check Tachograph compatibility.
1. Our TachoFile Viewer software can be downloaded for free at
Tachosys.com. The free version of TachoFileViewer is limited, but allows
you to at least see the model number of the Tachograph (see page 5). If
you want to view more information within the Tacho file, you will need to
purchase a license dongle (SFV-ST) from Tachosys.com.
2. Tachograph Lookup is an online tool where you can lookup individual
Tachograph model numbers and check compatibility. You are also able to
drag and drop multiple vehicle files which can be exported to .pdf or Excel.
This program is found in our Dealer Zone (dealerzone.tachosys.com)
which requires a login. Please contact Tachosys for a login.

You can often find a sticker with the model number of the Tachograph when
you remove the printer tray from the Tachograph or alternatively by outputting
a Technical Print Out from the Vehicle Unit.
